I couldn't think of anything to write about because this week has been a pretty uneventful week, so my mind started to wander. When my mind wanders, I tend to start thinking about things that are really weird and have no correlation to anything that has happened recently. This was one of those times. I started to realize how good Americans in our generation have it and about how much we rely on technology. I realized that until about twenty or thirty years ago, there were no cell phones. Now, it seems like practically everybody our age has cell phones and those who don't have them are always complaining about how they need a cell phone. I don't know how, but somehow, civilization was able to survive without cell phones, or phones for that matter, for thousands of years. Also, all around the world, millions upon millions of kids do not have cell phones. We actually are called the "1 percent" for a reason. So the next time you think about how horrible it is that you do not have a cell phone, remember what it had been like for people up until thirty years ago.

We might "have it good" but technology is tearing everything apart.

Not always. Like how people found ways to keep people and babies alive when they couldn't before, that's good technology
